When this film first came out, all it seemed to bring with it was negativity and bad reviews. Over and over people were talking about how unrealistic this movie was, or how it just seemed boring. When I tuned into this movie at nine a.m. this morning, there was nothing on and was willing to give it a shot. I am really glad I did. Not only is this one of the few children movies to make me tear up and cry, it is simply fantastic.

Now there isn't any cussing at all, nor anyone blowing up and shooting things, not any adult jokes I could see. Its just a simple movie. Simplicity to let your imagination make stuff out of it, simple at the fact that it is a movie for all ages. In which few agree. One of the few things I picked up from the film is how, as children we have such a wild imagination and as we grow older it fades away. In which it is entirely true. As a adult , we are told to grow up and quit the childish games. In which majority of the time when you let your inner child out, that is when you have the best fun. Another lesson learned is death. How one character is okay with his death, and ready because of the life he has lived.

Many of the the silly little things, can make anyone at any age laugh and smile. So for all those people who want to give it a try, go for it! You wont be to sorry. For all those people who hated it, I am sorry let your imagination flow. And for all those who loved it, you are truly living your life.
